Thank you.
Mr. Peppard, you talked about the supervision, which you call monitoring, of the work done by seasonal and temporary workers. Except that, in a federalist regime such as ours, in a confederation, labour standards are a provincial jurisdiction. In addition, government employees have even told us that temporary work permits are subject to no control to ensure individuals actually leave the country after their work period. Even the federal government doesn't have inspectors on site.
The provinces want us to grant work permits. We could insist, at the time of granting a temporary work permit, that an agreement be reached with the province to ensure that provincial labour standards are met.
Do you agree with that?
